We now have a portuguese born as a our Minister of Finance.

It pretty hilarious to see and ear every journalist trying to pronounce his name.

Corrigido!

Also, the Prime minister's name is Couillard which is close to bollocks or bollocky (couille). Great pair, if I may say so.

PS: oui, leitão c'est cochon de lait (leite = lait).

accents are hard. There's technically an accent in my name, but neither my father nor I use it.

Both of you suck but that's to be expected from an Anglo-Canadian-Azorean pidgin "speaker".

Leitão

How is this one pronounced?  Famous Porkchops like the explorer Antão Gonçalves make me think it should be 'Leitano'.  Is that right?  I also think 'João' is pronounced 'Joano'.  I never hear Portuguese spoken so that has just been my guess from reading Porkchop names over the years.

Bar bar bar bar bar? Bar!

Glad to have helped. It's all heathen gibberish.

Accents just confuse the white folks, so it's not necessary here.

cant think of English sound that matches it, but there's no n sound in any of your examples .

I think the arguments being heard by the SCC regarding the ability of the Government to change the rules regarding the Senate are fascinating. 

My guess is that the Court will reject the governments argument that it can unilaterally alter the selection of Senators (by requiring provinces to hold a vote) as the selection of Senators is expressly dealt with as a matter which can only be changed via the amending forumula of 2/3 of the Provinces having 50% of the population plus Parliament and the Senate.

The more interesting question (for me at least) is what the Court will do with potential amendments that do not fall within the express scope of either the 2/3rd +50% or unanimity amending forumulas in the Constitution.  My guess is that the Court will rule that amendments which would abolish the Senate are such a funamental change that it would require unanimity.

And I was right

Seriously?  Then why is the female version of João is Joana?  Damn isn't Antão the Porkchop version of Antonio?  It just seemed like Diogo Cão should be pronounced Diogo Cano but I guess not.

yes, Joana is the female Joao, but still no n sound and Antonio and Antao are both Anthony in Portuguese, but I think Antonio is more common I believe. As for cao, it means dog and is a good example. Look up how to say dog in Portuguese on YouTube. That sound you hear is how to pronounce "ao"


My lack of accents is mainly to piss off Duque
